Kevin Maguire on @bbcquestiontime, blaming the public again. Illegal migration is our fault. We’re racist. We’re scaremongering. Shut up, peasants. “They’re fleeing terror. They’re coming here because we went there.” So foreign policy is now an open-ended right to skip the queue. We went somewhere, therefore anyone from there can turn up illegally and stay. Convenient. Legal migration, of course, is wonderful. They all work. They contribute hugely. Diversity heaven. Some even score for Sunderland. Repeat after him: diversity is our strength. They’re in hotels, he says, because we won’t let them work. No. They come for the handouts, not the jobs. We often don’t know who they are, which is dangerous, and we don’t need more people competing for work and holding wages down. We need our own people in jobs. Maguire’s real complaint is the standard of the free hotel and the fact they only get £10 a day. Not the boats. Not the cost. Not the vetting. The accommodation isn’t nice enough for people who entered illegally. He finishes by telling you to stop “demonising and scaremongering”. Mention the crimes and you’re a racist, because they’re black and brown. The boats, the bills, the offending: none of it counts. Objection itself is the offence. Call the public bigots and the argument is over. That’s the whole routine. Completely out of touch.
